To audition for Kansas City Ballet, it is definitely BEST to attend an open audition in one of the designated cities (Kansas City Ballet has hired 85 percent of its dancers from open auditions).

If you are UNABLE to attend an open audition, you may send a current DVD to be considered for an audition in Company class with the Kansas City Ballet. THESE SPACES ARE VERY LIMITED. Videos submitted from MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and any other online format will NOT be accepted.
